Typical RISD Freshmen Experience

Hello everyone! I recently committed to the Brown/RISD Dual Degree Program and I was wondering if current RISD students could give me a description of what a typical RISD freshmen experience is like. For example, can you describe your weekly homework schedule? Is it true that a homework assignment for a single class can be ten drawings that are due the next week? How much do you spend on supplies in a month? Are all-nighters an absolute necessity to survive Foundation Year? Feel free to answer all of the questions, some of them, or just supply any type of advice or information you may have. I’d appreciate anything! Thank you all so much!

I don’t know how the dual degree program compares to the ‘regular’ program but my D is finishing up her foundatio year there and I just answered a similar question in this thread… http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/rhode-island-school-design/1992065-rsid-foundations-year-how-grueling-is-it.html#latest
